Oh, that can't be good...

Say what you will about omens and such, but the news from Mesa can't be positive no matter how you slice it.

Kerry Wood slipping/jumping/being pushed from a hot tub and injuring his ribs to the point that he can't pitch for a few days is at best an annoyance and at worst a harbinger of the stinking wreck of a season to come.

WithLeather asked if Cubs pitchers were made from cobwebs and papier mache and I'm beginning to think he might have a point.

Really, there are three ways to get hurt on Day One at spring traing - 1.) Wrench your back taking your bags from the back of the taxi; 2.) Slip and fall; 3.) Get stuck under the rubble from a grandstand collapse.
